The Seattle Seahawks are losing some very big players this offseason. Boye Mafe is going to the Cincinnati Bengals, Coby Bryant is joining the Chicago Bears, and worst of all, Kenneth Walker is joining the Kansas City Chiefs.
Their Super Bowl MVP is leaving the team, and the Seahawks need to find a replacement for him this offseason. While they won't splurge on a top-dollar running back, there is one option they're considering.
According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Seahawks are reportedly in the mix to sign free-agent Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White. The former 1,500-yard RB would be a nice dual-threat replacement for Walker this offseason.

"I'm expecting something to happen here in the near future with Rachaad White," Garafolo said. "I'm told that he was one of the fallback options potentially in Seattle if they didn't have Kenneth Walker."

This is an interesting option for the Seahawks to consider replacing Walker with. He's 27 years old and coming off four years in Tampa Bay.
With Bucky Irving and the new addition Kenneth Gainwell, the Buccaneers won't be bringing White back. Seattle makes perfect sense as a landing spot for White.
He's a great dual-threat running back who, in 2023, put up 1,539 scrimmage yards with 549 receiving and 990 rushing to go with six rushing and three receiving touchdowns.
In 2024, White had another strong year, recording 613 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 144 carries, over 100 fewer than he had in 2023 (273). He also had 393 receiving yards on 51 receptions with six touchdowns.

White's versatility as a runner and receiver is what makes him an appealing fit for Seattle. He can do it all while Zach Charbonnet recovers from his torn ACL, and when he's healthy, Charbonnet and White would form a great backfield duo.
While White's production last year, with 218 receiving yards and no touchdowns on 40 receptions, and 572 rushing yards with four TDs on 132 attempts, wasn't the best, he was still a productive player for Tampa Bay.
Seahawks adding White to replace Walker would make a lot of sense, and Garafolo's report only specifically identified the Seahawks as one of the many teams in on White. This fit makes sense and is one to watch for Seahawks fans this offseason.
